The constant folder didn't know how to always fold bitcasts of constant integer
vectors. In particular, it was unable to handle the case where a constant vector
had some undef elements, and the resulting (i.e. bitcasted) vector type had more
elements than the original vector type.
Example:
%cast = bitcast <2 x i64><i64 undef, i64 2> to <4 x i32>
On a little endian target, %cast could have been folded to:
<4 x i32><i32 undef, i32 undef, i32 2, i32 0>
This patch improves the folding logic by teaching how to correctly propagate
undef elements in the folded vector.
